The aim of this study is to clarify the change over time in the elements of work (job elements) and their features, as well as the relationship between job elements and the type of job, job class, and the role of the hospital they are performed in. A time-motion study was conducted on the medical staff in the surgical wards of two hospitals. An analysis of roles bys by (a) type or class of job type, and (b) hospital function was conducted. The number of working hours was analyzed, as well as the ratio of working hours with respect to direct and indirect job elements. The job elements required for each medical staff member were proven to differ by type of job (doctors and nurses) and also by job class (nurse leaders and staff). When comparing between hospital the differences in job elements were proven not to be a result of differences in hospital function, but to result from the ward system (ward design and nursing system).

Many industries use copper metal ions (Cu ions), and their salts are utilized as supplemental materials in both agriculture and medicine. Identifying and monitoring these Cu ions in biological and environmental specimens is crucial due to their association with several health issues. In this investigation, we have designed a simple quinoline-based receptor (E)-3-(((2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-6-methoxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (QAP) containing imine functional groups to inspect its capability to identify metal ions in a semi-aqueous medium.

A de novo lanthanide-binding coiled-coil polypeptide (MB1-2) was previously reported to self-assemble into a trimeric complex upon addition of Tb with a micromolar range dissociation constant. This study examines the effect of substitution of hydrophobic residues in heptad repeats of MB1-2 on the thermodynamic stability of the resulting Tb-peptide complex. Substitution of isoleucine to norleucine in each heptad repeat was assessed considering the greater accessible surface area of the latter and predicted increased hydrophobic interaction.
